Most 1950s German workers saw employer relations as irreconcilable polarity

Evidence

The employer is not only an opponent over the question of worker participation, but also in general an adversary to the worker. The majority of people conceive of the relationship between the employer and the employee as a polar one, not as an all-inclusive system. With an adversary like this, one may be able to reach a compromise through mutual concessions; it is more likely that one will have to wring things out of him to achieve anything at all. But a great many workers have abandoned even this hope. They take the view that the polarity between the top' and the bottom’ is irrevocable. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2101 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
